The Red Horse Ranch, which is a state-of-the-art facility here in our area, is hosting it's 5th annual rodeo this coming weekend. We totally love the rodeo! It is just a wonderful event each year. One of the features of the Saturday evening rodeo are some children riding sheep - called "mutton bustin'!" - and the preliminaries were tonight. Any child under a designated weight (so that they aren't too heavy for the sheep) could give it a try. I think about 50 children did so and the top 5 or 6 advance to the Saturday night rodeo in the big outdoor arena ... and yup! .. you guessed it... our little cowgirl made it to the big time!
You will get a kick out of this video. You can see how the staff hold the animal and assist the child in position and then.... zowie! they're off! After Brooklyn's turn was Preston. They ask the child if they want to give their animal a name and he said "sharky" (he loves sharks!) You can see them place him on the sheep and then you see his head shaking "no.... don't think so..." and so they set him back on the ground. Maybe next year, buddy.
And hey! She won tickets for her parents to Saturday night. That's huge!
Congratulations cowgirl!
